I'm probably gonna burn in hell for this.
Well, to be honest, I KNOW I'm gonna burn in hell. And it will have nothing to do with this video. OK, maybe a little. But you know what, Lucifer-- you ain't got me yet.
Oh yeah-- it's been touch and go. But the very act of me writing this gives me so much pleasure.
Oh, right. The video.
Produced in 2010.
14 Minutes in length (worth every minute, trust me).
Directed by Henrik Bjerregaard Clausen
From our email correspondence:
A few more tidbits: Henrik writes: "Doing research for the film we found a real book online written by living and breathing Evangelical Christians and I gave this to the two adult actors to read through and gather some extra meat for their roles. A lot of the dialogue was improvised by the actors on set. We did have a script as a foundation with the whole narrative, setups and payoffs, but found that building on it in character, when shooting, created a lot of interesting takes, so there's a ton of that on screen. In the end we actually dialed back on how out-of-this-world they should act and behave, but after finishing the film and looking at real documentaries about Evangelical Christians, we realized that people in the real world are way more unhinged than any character we have ever created."
So, dammit-- watch this film. At one point, I squirted milk outta my nose. Not recommended (the milk squirting out of the nose thing, that is).
